5.0 out of 5 stars
Wish my 7th grade Texas History teacher had this one!!!,
By Cheri Isaacs (Joshua, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: State Shapes : Texas (Hardcover)
With this colorful, clever, and surprisingly informative book, history leaps off the page like a bucking bronco at the Fort Worth Rodeo. Snappy dialogue between the two cartoon characters--Sam and Meredith, your "guides" through this diverse land--cooks up an easily digestible version of Texas history without being dishonest (for example, a few paragraphs are devoted to the haunting legacy of the Native Americans who were here first). This book reads easier than cold lemonade on a sweltering day in August. You (and your kids!) will love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars
This is the coolest book if you love Texas!,
By Grendel2009 (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: State Shapes : Texas (Hardcover)
I just bought this book for one of the young people in my life and I am having a hard time giving it to her as I like it so much! It has really cool facts about Texas! I also like that it mentions the best university in Texas (UT) and not that other school. My only complaint is that it is a little harsh on Houston!
